Mother Soki is a Minneapolis-based musician who develops a dream pop sound shaped by alternative and lo-fi pop influences. She discovers her interest in making music while studying in college in Chicago, and her work grows out of a strong artistic drive that develops during adolescence.

Style and influences

Her music draws on the dreamy textures associated with dreampop and on the nostalgia of 1990s sounds. She cites The Sundays, Imogen Heap and Cocteau Twins as key influences. Her approach combines modern uses of vintage synthesizers with heavy guitars and airy, spacious vocals, creating a contrast between dense and light textures.
